Make this simple, rich, and cheesy chicken and spinach bake for a satisfying comfort dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
  • 10 ounces frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
  • 1 (10.5 ounce) can cream of chicken soup
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup crushed butter crackers (optional topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, dried spinach, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, and pepper. Mix until everything is well combined.
  3. Stir in 3/4 cup of the mozzarella cheese and all of the Parmesan cheese into the chicken mixture.
  4. Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
  5. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of mozzarella cheese over the top.
  6. If using, sprinkle the crushed butter crackers over the cheese layer.
  7. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the topping is golden brown.
  8. Let the bake rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Squeeze as much liquid out of the thawed spinach as possible to prevent a watery casserole.
  • You can substitute cream of mushroom soup for cream of chicken soup if desired.
  • For extra flavor, add 1/2 cup of chopped canned artichoke hearts to the mixture.
